Gogol Bordello - Multi Kontra Culti Vs Irony - VINYL LP

Since 1999, Gogol Bordello has been bringing their unique fusion of punk rock and Eastern European influences to the world, including their legendary theatrical and rambunctious live shows. From it's inception, Gogol Bordello has been a band of immigrants, with members hailing from Ukraine, Ecuador, Russia, and Ethiopia. With their upcoming eighth studio album and first in five years, Solidaritine, they are going back to singer, Eugene Hutz's more punk rock roots as heard on the new single InchFocus CoinInch While finishing up the new record, the world turned upside down for Hutz and other members as the war in Ukraine started. With his mind now on helping out his homeland, Hutz has used his influence and art to raise money and awareness. He's collaborated with everyone from Les Claypool to Billy Strings in recent months, to putting together benefits featuring Patti Smith and more. Now Gogol Bordello is ready to bring their new album to the masses, and use their art to help end the war and bring Solidaritine to the world

La Cuota b/w Darling is the lead-off single for El Combo Batanga's second full-length album and debut with Ubiquity Records. La Cuota on the A-side kicks the doors down with it's undeniable energy and harkens back to the funkier moments in Fania's catalog with Ray Barretto. Darling on the B-side is an intense slow burn, a captivating Latin sweet soul ballad bursting with emotion and longing. El Combo Batanga is a musical explosion at the intersection of Afro-Cuban rhythms and Latin funk. A group of powerful musicians who blend son, timba, Latin soul, and boogaloo for people to enjoy.
